Blue Mountains Real Estate and Homes for Sale

As a real estate agent who specializes in Blue Mountains, let me be your guide to what Blue Mountains Ontario has to offer as a neighbourhood to finding homes for sale in the area.

Nestled along Georgian Bay's southern coastline just an hour and a half from Toronto is the Georgian Triangle of Ontario and the town of the Blue Mountains. The town is named after the renowned Blue Mountain ski resort and is situated where the Beaver River empties into Georgian Bay. You have also the private Alpine and Craigleith Ski Clubs for winter sports enjoyment. So as you would surmise, the economy is primarily driven by tourism but there are other benefits to living here.

The formation of the current town took place in January of 2001 when the Township of Collingwood's remaining settlements and the Town of Thornbury were amalgamated into a single municipality. Despite its reliance on tourism and the winter sports industry, the Town of Blue Mountains gives the homeowner the chance to connect with a healthier lifestyle while living in a 4-season community. It provides you with a unique opportunity to invest in your family's well-being and in a location where you can start new traditions.

There is a wide range of dwellings to choose from including mountain townhomes, single family residences, townhomes on golf courses, and other village properties. So no matter what type of lifestyle you want to live and what type of budget you have, you will have a number of choices that will meet you and your family's specific needs. Outdoor enthusiasts will also enjoy climbing Metcalf Rock, cross-country skiing and mountain cycling in the in the Kolapore area, or hiking along the Bruce Trail.

If you have children and decide to settle in the Town of Blue Mountains, Grey Highlands, or Meaford, the schools in the area are administered by the Bruce-Grey or Blue Water Districts. Additionally, there are daily lessons or programs for beginning skiers available at local resorts.
